Which of these 9 car types are you?

You can often tell who the owner might be just by looking at the car. I've gone in search of typical clichés and presented them to you in a short list. Have fun!
Behind the wheel, people reveal their true character. And although he feels alone in the car, the world watches and recognises him. Passers-by look deep into his soul while he is stuck in a traffic jam in Zurich city centre. A lot can be read from a car: Hobbies, wealth, love of animals. We are guessing a little.
Zurich's Paradeplatz banker
You are the king of District 1: pavements, tram tracks and disabled parking spaces are reserved exclusively for you. Traffic rules have no meaning for you, after all, you're super important. And anyway: a 40 cent parking fine? That's about 30 seconds of working time. At the most.
Rockabilly James Dean offcut
The music of Elvis Presley or Carl Perkins is blaring from your car. At every opportunity, you have to check in the rear-view mirror to see if your hair is still in place. If not, intervene immediately with a pomade and comb. Style is everything!
Horse owner and wife of Gold Coast surgeon
You move your car for a maximum of five kilometres. Anything more would be too far and would exponentially increase the risk of an accident. To run all your essential errands, you obviously need a vehicle that can cope with perfectly tarmac roads. And if in doubt, you need to be able to drive into something without anything happening to you. Could mess up your hairstyle.
"Hüt gib i mers fett im Casino"-Prolet
You can be seen on the streets at the beginning of every month. Overjoyed that your wages are in your account, you have to spend them as quickly as possible. Hire limousines, spend local rounds and gamble. That's your life!
Gothic Metal Head
Black is your colour. Be it your leather coat that reaches the ground, your Doc Martens shoes, your fingernails or even your hearse. You feel a strong connection to your inner power animal - the airbrushed wolf on your T-shirt -
and the dead are more interesting to you than the living.
Station round turner with a leasing contract
Your car (usually a BMW) is your status symbol par excellence. To be able to afford the high petrol costs and leasing interest, you still live with your parents. But you don't really mind, because you spend 80 per cent of your free time behind the wheel anyway. At around 20 km/h. In the car park at the station. Maybe a hot woman will notice you. And ignores you.
Chihuahua-owning secretary
You drive a munty little car that's super cute. After all, it has to match your dog. Neither are practical. As we all know, you have to make a few compromises for style.
Head of state or Russian oil billionaire
Money hasn't played a role for you for some time now. Your car costs as much as a house for a middle-class worker. The middle class is just a peasantry to you anyway. After all, you belong to the elite 1% and are proud of it.
Retired, hat-wearing Sunday driver
Your speedometer stops exactly at 48 km/h. Nobody actually knows why. I suspect there is a far-reaching conspiracy among all pensioners. You have made it your mission to slow down the world. However, this only provokes breakneck overtaking manoeuvres.
Do you know any typical clichés among car owners that I haven't mentioned yet? Let me know in the comments. I'm very curious to see what comes up. 😀
